The philosopher's stone was the key to alchemy, the medieval predecessor to chemistry that aimed to cure all illnesses, make the elixir of life, and transmute base metals into gold. The last made perfect sense at the time. The Aristotelian theory of elements stated that all things consisted of fire, air, water, and earth. So a little shift in one metal's composition could create gold.
Hamel was renowned as an alchemical success. In 1382, after 25 years of studying an ancient book by "Abraham the Jew," he is said to have produced the philosopher's stone. His texts, notably a deconstruction of the "Abraham" work, were standard reading for aspiring scientists like Isaac Newtori.
Many alchemists believed Flamel faked his 1418 death and that of his wife. Rumored sightings in the 18th century placed them at the Paris Opera. As late as 1816, there were reports of people searching Flamel's former house for secrets of the stone.
Contemporary historians say a Nicolas Flamel did live in Paris in the 1300s and endowed many churches and hospitals with his wealth. But he was no alchemist. "He got his money in pedestr/an ways - his wife's earlier marriages, real-estate speculation," says Lawrence Principe, author of The Aspiring Adept. Anachronisms, style. of language, and the lack of earlier copies indicate that none of "his" writings originated prior to the 1500s.
"This sort of thing happens in alchemy," says Bill Newman, author of alchemical history Gehennical Fire. When an alchemist couldn't back up his ideas, he might publish them in the guise of a "lost" work. Flamel's wealth made a good candidate for alchemical identity theft.
Flamel writings and sightings faded with alchemy's prestige. And the closest anyone's come to the philosopher's stone is Rowling. In her hands, it has yielded not just gold but eternal (shelf) life as well.

A．came from J. K. Rowing's imagination

C．turned out to be a magic in Potter
D．was believed by many alchemists
A．Chinese girls are crazy about Madonna
B．McDonald's is regarded as evil in Russia

D．American pop music is confined to shops and stores in Asia
